To be stubborn is not a bad thing
I have learnt from Ojukwu to dive in
To dive in and to thrive in it,
but of course one day you will have to run away and leave it
I have learnt from Fela to not stop when it's tough
To become that basket mouth that opens up again
To let fear be the force that drives us to our gain,
and not the force that keeps us in chains
Like Osadebe I'm using a form that is sure,
to do a work Chinua Achebe saw - that is strong
Although they think to this world that it would stop
They try by all means to make me stop
A sign that I can't see neither can I hear because I'm on top
But of course,1
One day I will run away and leave it because it's tough
I have done that before, yet it crawls to me,
Who would bear my cross?
Damn, it's tough
I say to myself that I can't do everything
Because in me is not everything
So I will have to gear up with you like the Arimathean
Because you will be the one to send this sprinkles on its course
Soul!!!
